Deputy Head Teacher

Salary: Grade 12 (£46,549 ‐ £49,590 per annum) Required as soon as possible

Salary: L19 to L23 ‐ £73,509 to £81,070

Wales Parish Council is seeking to recruit to the post of clerk to the council a highly motivated person with a wide variety of skills. The position would suit someone who has previous experience of working in local government and managing staff.

Our Multi Academy Company (MAC) was formed in September 2013 with just one secondary school and two primary schools. Over the past 10 years, we have grown to two secondary schools and six primary schools, educating over 3000 pupils aged 3‐18 years. Our MAC footprint sits across the local authorities of Dudley, Sandwell, Birmingham and Walsall, all serving wonderfully diverse and vibrant communities.

The post is full time with a core working week of 30 to 37 hours and attendance at evening meetings, typically twice a month. The successful applicant will preferably hold the Certificate in Local Council Administration qualification or be willing to undertake the appropriate training and study to obtain the qualification. The salary will be based on the National Joint Council pay scales points 24-28, £33,024 to £36,648 (pro-rata). The council will enrol the successful applicant in a workplace pension scheme.

Our MAC is very much at the beginning of its digital journey. Our schools are eager to work together to find the best digital learning solutions and therefore it is vital that we are able to communicate effectively across the whole MAC using appropriate platforms. Building the infrastructure to support this is the critical first step in enabling technology to make lives better across all of the schools within our MAC family. In addition to supporting our schools, the successful candidate will therefore play a key role alongside the Chief Operating Officer (COO) to develop our central network.

The annual budget is around £270,000 and the parish currently has a population of around 9,500.

For informal enquiries or an application pack, please contact the parish office on 01909 515784 or by email at office@wales-pc.org.uk.

The role will evolve within the MAC. Working alongside the Central Services Team, it will initially be based within the MAC central office with travel to all schools as and when required. The purpose of the role is to provide a proactive and reactive service within the St John Bosco Catholic Academy; to ensure that day to day, the IT networks and provision are maintained effectively and efficiently across our estate – as well as to assist in the provision of specialist IT support services for students, staff and delivery of the curriculum. The successful candidate will report to, and also work with, the COO. For details including a full job description and application form please contact recruitment@sjbca.co.uk or contact Mrs Caroline Caddick on 01384 889422.
